I've made a Sugar Cane farm on a multiplayer server, but I've noticed that the speed it grows is a bit slow and it is a large time consumer. I wanted to know if I can make this grow faster by placing a different ground block, like dirt vs. sand.

The block below the sugarcane doesn't affect it's growth rate
Xisuma made a video on this (along with a couple of other tests) a while back:
The sugarcane test starts at 3:12. He uses block update detectors to harvest the sugarcane the exact moment it grows and links the BUD to a dropper placing items in a chest as a counter. The test involves dirt, grass, sand, podzol, red sand and coarse dirt. The sugar cane is placed with MCEdit, making sure there's no head start. After one hour of testing with an increased
randomTickSpeed, all soils yield pretty much the same amount of sugarcane.
